Coming Attractions: Casino Royale


The latest trailer for the twenty-first James Bond film, Casino Royale, has been posted at AOL Movies web site. Judging from this trailer, it is true that this new Bond, played by Daniel Craig, will be a much "harder" Bond when compared to the cavalier Moore or Brosnan. And, as much as I enjoyed watching Brosnan's four outings, I never bought in to him being Bond. He was still Remington Steele to me. So, November 17th will tell about Daniel Craig, but for now, enjoy the trailer.

Somewhere darker than Dalton, less-Remington than Brosnan and Moore, more Bond-like than Connery. That's what I'm hoping for.

I concur. Connery has always been a tough act to follow.

This film may very well represent Bond as written by Fleming. In the books, he was hard but flawed, making many mistakes on his missions. He detested killing but would not hesitate to do so if necessary.

Captain Marvel (2019) ★ ★ ½ Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou, Annette Benning. Captain Marvel burst onto the big screen in a big way this month, with a post-credits sequence setting up the titular character as a major force to be reckoned with in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame .  Having never liked the comic book, this was one Marvel movie I was not looking forward to. Having seen it, I am pleased to report that I liked it better than I thought I would, but not as much as I had hoped. Here’s what I liked: Annette Benning, chewing the scenery and looking great; Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury with two good eyes; Goose the non-cat; Agent Coulson; the sinister and creeping-looking Skrulls; Stan Lee’s inside-joke cameo as himself (the year is 1995 and Lee is seen on a train reading the script to Kevin Smith’s Mallrats , in which he had a cameo); and Brie Larson, a talented actress who holds her own in a performance with dangerously high fanboy expectation
